premonitory dreams
Sleep foretells events
Premonitory dreams are dreams that seem to predict future events.
The dreamer experiences something in sleep—a death, an accident, an encounter—that later appears to happen in waking life.
Whether such dreams represent genuine foreknowledge or selective memory that retrofits coincidences remains debated: She swore she'd had a premonitory dream about the crash.
